Overview Overview MiniWave is a compact, loop-powered ultrasonic level transmitter for continuous measurement of liquids. As a price leader, it does not compromise on good value; and provides effortless and intuitive operation. Easy and flexible mounting combined with high chemical compatibility and 12-metre measuring range makes the MiniWave suitable in multiple applications in all industries. Principle of Operation The MiniWave emits an ultrasonic pulse, which is reflected from the surface of the liquid being measured. The reflected signal is processed using specially developed software to enhance the correct signal and reject false echoes. Automatic sensitivity control allows the unit to dynamically adjust and improve the received echoes for the best possible measurement outcome.

Installation Mounting Sensor should be mounted 1/3 the diameter of the vessel from the vessel wall Unit should never be closer than 250mm (10") to the liquid surface 2 NPT (MWN1A) or 2 BSPT (MWB1A) Do not mount over or near objects which can interfere with the unit measurement Do not mount in the centre of a curved roof to avoid the potential of parabolic echoes min. 250mm (10 ) Ensure appropriate UV protection. These are examples of common INCORRECT mountings which can prevent the unit from operating correctly. Do NOT mount near infeed Do NOT mount over or adjacent to any obstacles Protect from UV Do NOT mount cone or transducer face above roofline Do NOT mount on angle in liquid applications 5
Installation Powering The Unit When power is applied, the unit will start up automatically. The LCD will scroll through its boot diagnostics and display the serial numbers, software version and model types for the amplifier and transducer. The selected Display Mode will be visible with a measurement. The top right hand corner diagnostic indicates either the operating mode or the current output. The unit will re-scan for the level whenever it is powered up.

Commissioning - Software Startup The MiniWave uses automatic sensitivity control to detect and maintain the level. After applying power to the unit allow 20-30 seconds for the unit to adjust to the application*. *For best results ensure there is a liquid level present in the application or flat surface below the transducer Main Menu To access the Main menu press To access AutoSet menu press and hold for 3 seconds Setup Parameter Description Options Display Mode Set LCD measurement display mode Level % Level Space Volume* Display Unit Adjust displayed measurement unit MilMetre CenMetre Metres Feet Inches Low Level Set Low level measurement point (4mA) Adjustable High Level Set High level measurement point (20mA) Adjustable Damping Adjust output response time & smoothness Adjustable in seconds Failsafe Set failsafe output 3.50mA 4mA 3.80mA 20mA 20.20mA LastKnown * Volume mode requires PC with GoshawkII software.

Commissioning - Software Advanced Settings Parameter Description Options Comms Adjust HART protocol settings. Device ID Default 1 BaudRate 1200 Blanking Tracking Blanking is a dead-band / non measured range. The unit cannot measure within this range. Adjust tracking response time for application. The faster the tracking, the more responsive the measurement is, but it is less smooth the output signal. InstaTrack provides pulse by pulse live measurement. Adjustable - recommended default 250mm (10") Slow Medium Fast InstaTrack Mapping Mapping creates a digital 'map' of false echoes caused by problem mounting and structures. Select 'ExecuteMap' to set a mapped distance, conduct or delete Mapping. Select 'MappedDist' to view a previously mapped distance. MappedDist ExecuteMap Set Map Dist The unit will target this echo size (measured in signal EchoSize voltage) during operation. High values can increase stability but make the unit more susceptible to false echoes. Lower values can make the unit less sensitive and less likely to see false echoes. 0.4-2.49V Default 0.59V Analog Adjust Analog output. Switch from 4-20mA to 20-4mA and fine tune both 4mA current and 20mA current. 4-20mA 20-4mA Tune 4mA Tune 20mA Park 4mA Park 8mA Park 12mA Sensitivity Increase or decrease the unit Automatic Sensitivity Control range. 0: Lowest 10: Default 20: Highest WaveBoost WaveBoost adds additional echo amplification on top of the Automatic Sensitivity Control.

Troubleshooting Unit is displaying incorrect distance Confirm display mode is suitable. Space is measured from Sensor face to measured level. Material is measured from Low Level to measured level. If unit is measuring too deep increase Sensitivity. If the unit continues to measure too deep, increase WaveBoost If unit is measuring too high, reduce Sensitivity and ensure WaveBoost is set to 0. Check if material is present to be measured. Unit will output and display FailSafe reading if it cannot detect a level within range. Analogue trend is erratic/unstable Increase 'Damping' value for smoother trends. Choose a slower 'Tracking' speed. Check there are no objects interfering with the transit pulse in the application (such as ladders and cross beams). Unit is locked up or flat line measurement Confirm there is material within measurement range, the unit may go to Failsafe if there is no flat level available. If the unit is locked to a high level perform Mapping for distance beyond false echoes. If the unit is locked higher than the real level check for objects interfering with the transit pulse in the application (such as ladders and cross beams). Lower the Sensitivity/WaveBoost. Re-locate the installation to avoid the interfering object. If the unit is locked lower than the real level confirm the application is not within Blanking distance. Increase Sensitivity/WaveBoost until unit measures correct level. Tracking speed may be too slow for the application. Increase Tracking speed. PLC indication does not match measurement Connect a Multimeter in series with the powered loop. Compare the 'ma' diagnostic on the display with the ma reading on the loop. If these values do not match, disconnect the loop wires and measure the resistance across the loop. This should not exceed specification. Confirm High Level and Low Level are set to the same values in MiniWave and control system. AutoSet fails Increase 'Sensitivity' to a higher value. Allow the unit to run for a longer time (one minute). Re-attempt the AutoSet. Increase WaveBoost and re-attempt the AutoSet. Set High and Low level manually in 'Setup' menu. If problems persist, install replacement MiniWave in the application. 'Bench test' the problem unit in a controlled environment. Difficult applications may be required a low frequency Acoustic Wave device. Contact HAWK for information about the Sultan series. 10
